Customer Reviews

simply a must have resource

As already noted, it covers all the basics of NT interpretation and provides good bibliography if you want to delve into a particular area more. This one is the introductory but then there is a "guide" for each of the other genre of the NT in the series, all of which are really good. They are a bit "scholarly" but very useful and readable. If you are a Bible teacher of any capacity (from Pastor to SS teacher to Bible Study leader) you really should consider looking in to this series.

a veritable goldmine of useful information

This introductory volume to the Guides to New Testament Exegesis series is a veritable goldmine of useful information on the different genres of interpretation. Short overviews of each genre by well known scholars give you a good grasp of the importance of that particular area of interpretation and the pitfalls and fallacies that present themselves with inaccurate exegesis. While a basic knowledge of Greek is suggested, it is well worth the price of the book for the excellent overview of New Testament background; NT word analysis; sociology and NT exegesis; NT theological analysis; and the function of the OT in the NT - none of which require any Greek. Gets right to the point with meaty information - no throw-away stuff here.
